CONS

DASH Compact Electric Air Fryer
Ninja AF161 Max XL Air Fryer
Yes

1. You can't cook large portions in it 2. It takes longer than a traditional air fryer to cook food since it has a lower wattage than other popular air fryers. 3. Low wattage makes cooking times longer than other more powerful air fryers. 4. It’s difficult to cook everything evenly within the fryer, it cooks the top way hotter. 5. Timer and temperature dial are hard to read and set accurately. You have to peer over the top to see the temp or crouch down to see the timer. 6. Temperature scale is too small between increments to set accurately or easily. 7. It gives off a funny smell but only in its new stages. 8. The red base loses color when used in a dishwasher and the handle seems a little loose. 9. You can't cook really greasy food in it, things like fatty bacon, sausages, burgers, etc.

Yes

No preset modes for different food. When you select cooking mode, a default time is set (i.e. 10 min for Max Crisp, 15 min for air fry, and 20 for bake). Quite tall but should still fit on your counter. You will still need to have the back and top open when using it as the air intake is at the top and the air exhaust is in the back. It's deep but the cooking is uneven. The top will get burned while the bottom is still raw. You can make this problem go away by shaking your meal. You constantly have to Google the cooking temperature and time of a food item as not a lot are in the booklet that comes with the appliance. It is considered to be a bit noisy.
